Someone Somewhere In Summertime With LDF
Had a go at tidying up the image of Jim in the SSIS fold-out poster with the 7” vinyl. Don’t know if any of you guys have a crease proof copy, but I don’t…and I have three of them! Lol. 30+ years of being folded up will do that. The crease stubbornly would fall all…
Repetition…
I’m going through illness again. Bear with me as I try and pull myself out. Things may be quiet here for a bit. There’s not really anything to report on the SM front. Jim says they are working on new music (which is fabulous…of course I am excited. As excited as my heart and mind…
We Jumped The Gun – Again – Still Not LIAD Anniversary, YET!
Yesterday I was out-anoraked. Jim had posted about it being the anniversary of Life In A Day and smuggins here felt a little bit pleased with herself that he was acknowledging the correct date of release. Well, so I had deluded myself. (And obviously he had thought so too…) The holy bible that is Dream…

Promised You Some LDF
It’s the 1981 aesthetic. Jim wearing collared shirts and tailored trousers. All very Great Gatsby and just oozing sophistication and sex appeal. He looks like a 1940s film star. So I coined the nickname “Laird Dash Fandango” for him, to sum up the look and his stage presence at the time. Stills from the Sweat…
Happy 40th Anniversary – Life In A Day!
Someone: It’s quite manic the way it starts then sounds traditional rock. Almost pub rock. Post punk. But “poppy”. I love that little “doo wop” bit too. The magic of a song that sounds catchy and upbeat, but if you take note of the lyrics…there’s a slightly different story going on. But we’re looking for…
Murderous Murder Story
About 8 hours of work, spread over the past two days. I’m sure it’s shit. I’ll probably end up hating it because I overcooked it. Anyways. I love Murder Story. Stay tuned tomorrow for my silly little LIAD anniversary post. Wish I could tell you I’m posting an interview with Jim on here…but alas, no….
Steve In Stevenage…
You know sometimes when you see something … you’ve just been made aware of it but it happened just a couple of days prior so you missed it completely? Well…that just happened to me. I’m checking the local record stores, particularly those over the Hertfordshire border…to see what they’re stocking and their prices for Saturday’s…
So…I Cannae Ask To See Him?
What the hell did I do wrong, now? I was only trying to be light-hearted. Have a bit of fun. Is it “irrelevant” to ask to see a current pic of the lead singer of your fave band? Was it deemed rude? I didn’t swear. Any sense of innuendo was VERY THINLY LACED (he was…
30 Day Song Challenge – Day Twenty Nine
A song you remember from your childhood – I chose this particular clip because it’s Countdown. I don’t really remember them performing on it, though I would have been watching Countdown at the time. Jim is just so fucking sexy and cool in this. And the manbag is just…a legend. Ah…”sherbet straws”. Lol Love Song…
